Pinning Long Robots
I just witnessed 2543 Titan bot, a wide front robot and a defensive robot for the winning alianace at the San Diego regional, pin the two top rated scorers 968 RAWC, and 1538 holy cows that were both skinny front robots. They were the reason this alliance one because they drew away the other scorers to help get them out of the struggle.


((TOM'S ADVCICE) long robots get pinned easily by wide robots due to the hitch differencial so pick well in the finals and if they get stuck their is almost no way to get out of the snag).


I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas or strategies to fight this innevitable struggle.

Thanks,
TomTom
